Using the kinetics module to conduct a descriptor analysis requires (at least) 2 files: the "setup file" which defines the reaction model, as well as another script to initialize the ReactionModel class and conduct analyses. The "setup file" is generally a static file (i.e. it is not a program) while the submission script will be an actual python program. Setup files typically end in ".mkm" for micro-kinetic model (although this is not required) while submission scripts end in .py since they are just python scripts. In addition it is very useful to also have an "input file" which contains the raw data about the energetics of the reaction model. An example of how to create an input file based on a table-like format is given in the 1 - Generating an Input File tutorial.
Each class described in the Code Structure section will require some specialized parameters. Some of these parameters are common to all variants of these classes, while others are specific to certain implementations. The possible inputs for the currently implemented variants of each class are listed below. Required attributes are underlined.
